Get focused: start with this one thing (it’s ridiculously simple, too!)
Hey hey hey beloved Reader!
Last week I promised to send you one habit/actionable tip to actually focus on your word/phrase for the year.
And… it’s super duper simple.
Just write it down every day (and actually think about what it means for you that day)
I know, I know – that’s painfully obvious, right?
The thing is – it really makes a difference when you consciously remember your word/focus phrase regularly.
It helps you remember that “Oh hey, I wanted to be [perserverant, playful,…

Here’s my quirky way of setting goals (it’s not what you think it is)
Happy weekending, beloved Reader!
So… who do you want to become this year?
Heck – you might even just focus on a few months at a time! (That’s 100% where I’m at right now. #noshame)
You see, when it comes to setting goals and my top priorities, I like to go a little… rogue.
Here’s the thing: Setting SMART goals (i.e. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) is a powerful way to accomplish things that matter to you.
My problem is that I can get so caught up in the minutae…

Sharing one of my favorite questions for becoming the best version of yourself
Hey there, beloved Reader,
Last week I promised to send you some super simple and fun activities/ideas to try out as you settle into the new year.
The first step was to read 4 personality tips to help you set your intentions (or decide your word of the year).
The second mini-bonus step: note your biggest takeaway from the post. It’s all fun and games to read articles, but the important thing is to DO something with that information. (Totally preaching to myself here, too.)
The third step:…

Good enough is… good enough! (and that’s okay)
Hello beloved Reader!
I’m just going to jump straight into it.
Sometimes I feel like I’m just not hitting the target.
I’m not enough. I’m too much.
And I can’t seem to hit that elusive, ever-moving target of being “enough.”
You feel me?
The thing is – sometimes that changes depending on your season. Heck, it can change depending on the moment!
If you, too, struggle with this at times, this post, may give you some nuggets to ponder. A few of the ideas discussed include:
Enough lists

She wanted to become the best version of herself -> stop worrying, start thriving
Hi there! beloved Reader!
As promised, it’s story time about a fellow Christian woman who wanted to become the best version of herself so she could stop worrying about what she couldn’t control and have thriving relationships.
Once upon a time, there was a woman who loved Jesus and had been married to her teenage sweetheart for the past 20+ years. She also…
Preferred facts over feelings yet were also constantly aware of the feelings of others in a group or conversation.
Had a passion for…

When you think of this, what comes to mind?
Hey there beloved Reader,
When you think of a masterpiece, what comes to mind?
Artwork in a museum?
A symphony?
A literary wonder?
Something else entirely?
Really, all of those answers are “right” answers.
But being a masterpiece is so much grander – and simpler – than those, too.
Let’s get geeky and whip out the definition:
mas·ter·piece – a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship.
And the really cool thing?
God calls you, Reader, a masterpiece!
For you, Reader, are God’s…

Let’s daydream a bit, you down?
Hey there beloved Reader,
Right around the time this is sliding into your inbox, my family is hitting “pause” on #allthethings to celebrate a milestone.
Quite frankly, I struggle hardcore at times with not immediately jumping ahead mentally to the next thing. (Calling all my fellow iNtuitives who can relate!)
But hitting pause – whether it’s a weekly Sabbath (I highly recommend it), periodically, or annually, it’s so life-giving to reflect, celebrate, and daydream about Future You.
And it…

He came so that you could THRIVE.
Whoops! Resending due to an error. Did you catch it?
Dear beloved Reader,
Let’s say it again but with a twist.
Dear loved-by-God Reader…
My yoga teacher mindset is kicking in, so let’s say it one more time with a big deep breath.
Dear loved-by-God Reader,
Did you know that Jesus came so that believers (hey, that’s you and me!) could have life to the full (i.e. a life full of purpose and passion)?
Let’s read Jesus’ words:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that…

Something you really ought to know
Hey there beloved Reader,
Lately, I’ve been thinking about what I’d most want to (really, need to) share with you if we were chatting over a cup of coffee together.
Or tea, Dr. Pepper, whatever your beverage of choice. Let’s not overthink this and focus more on why the heck we’re chatting in the first place.)
But first, my conscience won’t be at peace if I don’t put this out there:
I don’t have it all figured out and am still very much a masterpiece in progress (Ephesians 2:10). In fact, I…

Do you ever feel like Bible verses are “stalking” you?
Happy Tuesday, beloved Reader!
Do you ever feel like Bible verses are “stalking” you?
It makes you perk up and think, “God, you’re being pretty obvious about this. How can I catch what you’re throwing down?”
My focus for this year is being more playful and seeking joy, so a few weeks ago I wrote some “joyful” verses on scrapbook paper and taped them up in our living room (classy, I know), including the verse I’m about to share with you.
In the past 24 hours, it’s kept popping up – this…
